Re: [e4-dev] HashMap for weak/soft "values"

You probably want SoftReference, not WeakReference for a cache. In my
experience, I found that using HashMap<?,SoftReference<?>> is easy enough to
not justify a dedicated implementation.

Subject: [e4-dev] HashMap for weak/soft "values"

Hi,

I'm in need of a HashMap where the value is weak to build a temporal
cache. Does anybody here know of a such an implementation? All I found
are the implementation from Apache and Google Collections but adding
600KB dependencies only for that feels a bit strange.

I can't believe that Equinox or some other Eclipse Plugin is not
providing a similar implementation.

Tom
